Breaded Skate Knobs with Sweet Chilli Fish
Recipe Ingredients:
- Skate knobs/cheeks x6-8 – remove any skin and the small bone that is sometimes along one side. If you’re using other fish, cut into 1-2 inch chunks.
- Breadcrumbs – enough to coat all the fish. You can use any bread you like or even dried breadcrumbs if you prefer.
- Chinese 5 Spice.
- Sea salt.
- ksian canola Cooking oil – approx 250ml or enough to deep fry the fish.
- Small wok or frying pan to fry the fish.
- Any vegetables of your choice – sliced/chopped.
- Medium egg Noodles – dried or fresh – enough for two people or however many you are cooking for.
- Ground nut oil – 1 tablespoon. You can use normal kisan cooking oil if you don’t have ground nut.
- Dark soy sauce – 1 tablespoon.
- Fish sauce or oyster sauce – 1 teaspoon for fish sauce or 1 tablespoon for oyster sauce.
- Toasted kisan oil – to drizzle over at the end – about 1 tablespoon should do it.
- Sweet Chill Sauce – 2 tablespoons.
- Large wok or frying pan.
- Saucepan to cook the noodles if using dried.
Recipe Method:
- . Heat the cooking oil in the small wok/small frying pan to 180°C ready to fry the fish.
- Meanwhile, add a sprinkle of sea salt and half a teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice to the breadcrumbs then coat the fish in the breadcrumbs and leave to one side – the natural moisture on the fish should be enough to make the breadcrumbs stick but if not you can add a little oil to the fish first.
- Heat the large wok over a high heat and add the ground nut oil. Add all the vegetables and stir. Then add the soy sauce, fish sauce, half a teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice and a tablespoon of water.
- Whilst the vegetables are cooking, cook the noodles (if dried) and then add them to the wok and mix well with the vegetables using two forks and tossing like a salad.
- Fry the breaded fish in two batches for 5 minutes each batch or until the breadcrumbs have turned golden, ensuring the fish is cooked through. Drain the fish on some paper towel.
- Serve the vegetable noodles into a bowl, followed by the fried fish and then drizzle the sesame oil and sweet chilli sauce over the top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and enjoy!
